SSO from External Site
We have a website which uses regular asp.net + sql server database for authentication

, in which we are planning to add a link

which points to kentico page

When a user clicks on link , user should be SSO'd and automatically logged in to kentico site with out Authentication as user is already authenticated on website

we have to place the link in multiple websites & each has different database

How can we do this ?

RE:SSO from External Site
Hi,

In this case, you need to share the authentication cookie across domains - mercola.com and login.mercola.com. Please see www.15seconds.com/issue/971108.htm.
However, the user you are authenticating must exist in Kentico CMS database.

If the user does not exist in the Kentico CMS database, you need to use custom security handler to authenticate the user against external DB.

Hi,

I am not familiar with those but after quick look on Google I guess it should be possible to use them. However, you have to integrate them by yourself. There were many results on those using Google so I am sure you will find many useful information there.

Best regards,
